Books I've Written For Myself
These sixteen titles are books that I sell (via Amazon and from my own websites) or provide free of charge to give my customers a bit of added value. I have written other books that are now out of print. The book at the lower right, that doesn't match the others, is 'The Moon Carrier'. This is my hardback book of romantic poetry and is, in my biased and unimportant opinion, by far the best thing I've ever written!
